Pros

Limited likelihood of lay-offs, good benefit options, you'll always have something to do and no 2 days will ever be the same.

Cons

Very little vacation, low pay and no work/life flexibility for supervisors of non-exempt staff. Only the "chosen ones" are given development opportunities and promotions, the rest of us are just left to plow through the work and not rock the boat. If you happen to fit the Ecolab mold, they'll love you and you'll love them, but if you do not "bleed blue" you'll most likely feel pretty excluded and ignored.

Pros

The pros are four day work week 10 hour days, with many Fridays volunteer overtime They try to make a friendly environment

Cons

The pay is not as good as the other places around the area – odd for a fortune 200 company Daily quotas on work – some of them are unrealistic Many department supervisors – a.k.a. “coaches “ are pretty good – one or two are not. Typically these are the ones that have been there for 25 years plus. 20 minute break in the morning, 20 minute break for lunch 10 minute break in the afternoon You are truly on your feet for majority of the 10 hour day The corporation tries to make a friendly environment, but very few employees involve themselves in it. Much backstabbing among line workforce, not a healthy environment. Line workforce runs to supervisors constantly about other people when they should be concerned about their own work. Management has their favorites and you could see that by who who they talk to, and who Brown noses them
